Precision Boost Overdrive Override

[silkstone]

So I was wondering how much over max boost can you get on a Ryzen 3xxx CPU.

Motherboard MSI X470 Gaming Plus + 3600X
Max over boost on 6 of 12 cores is 125Mhz for total of 4525Mhz.

Updates to Precision Boost Overdrive Override for the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series can give an addition 200Mhz added to what is printed on the box.

Anyone have any luck going over max boost clock.

CPU-What is printer on the box.
Ryzen 9 3950X -4700 Max Boost
Ryzen 9 3900X -4600 Max Boost
Ryzen 7 3800X -4500 Max Boost
Ryzen 7 3700X -4400 Max Boost
Ryzen 5 3600X -4400 Max Boost
Ryzen 5 3600 -4200 Max Boost

MY 3600X Hitting 4500Mhz Cinebench 20

Video showing max over boost in a couple games and Valley Benchmark 1.0 running 4K where you need every Mhz J/K.

EG:
CPU -Printed On The Box-Ryzen 5 3600X -4400 Max Boost.Mine is happily hitting 4525Mhz for now.

I can't even hit 4 GHz on my 3600, though I think it might have more to do with the cheapo x370 mainboard rather than the CPU itself.

Just bad BIOS,it will be fixed.I have the cheapest X470 motherboard and it works like a champ.

Another video on how boost should work for all

I don't think so. I've been through all the bios revisions, including the latest that was released a few days ago. It is literally the cheapest mobo possible, the Gigabyte AX370-D3H

It's apparently so cheap, that it doesn't exist...

It is indeed a garbage board, 4-phase main VRM.... ugh.

I wouldn't even put an 1700X in that, let alone a ryzen 3000 with 8+ cores...

(on the other hand, it's bios was upgraded to AGESA 1.0.0.3... so theoretically it supports .... 3900X)

You can disagree,I have the cheapest X470 Motherboard but my motherboard can go past max boost on all cores up to 4525 Mhz light loads while running Cinebench20/light gaming.I can only make a video and show people how CPU should be working on the motherboard.

What is funny is that his cpu on his cheap motherboard boosts higher than my setup.

Years ago I bought a Uber expensive board to run a quad core that overcooked like a turd. Sometimes silicon lottery is just that.

That would be fair if all things were equal. What still bugs me, is that the 3800X CPUs seem to have little to no benefit over the 3700X, as they boost as high and seem to perform nearly identical. Yet, the MSRP is $70 higher...

Yeah, The AsRock B450 I wanted was out of stock and I was impatient. I bought it to run an Athlon 200GE, which it is fine for, then realized I needed more CPU power for what I was doing!
The CPU I have in is a 6 core. I'd never go any higher on this board.

I'm not just randomly disagreeing. There are Youtube reviews on this board showing that it does not have the power to boost 1st gen Ryzens to their full speed because they aren't able to supply the wattage required. Belive me, I really hope I am wrong and a future Bios update fixes this, but I am not holding out much hope.

3.95 Ghz on a 6 core is higher than what you get?

His original post said he boosts to 4525mhz. Mine so rarely gets that hi.

Ah, my apologies. I thought you were referring to my boost clocks.

 

[gerardfraser]

Added some screens to try to get my stupid point across somewhat.The CPU's can boost higher than what's written on the box and there is show much BS out there that they can not.It is all in the BIOS really.

Cinebench 20 all cores hit and past Maximum boost written on the box of 4400Mhz

Valley Benchmark all cores hit and past Maximum boost written on the box of 4400Mhz.

Screens from video if you do not want to look at the boring stuff.


Cinebench20

Core 0=4450Mhz

Core 1=4450Mhz

Core 2=4425Mhz

Core 3=4425Mhz

Core 4=4400Mhz

Core 5=4400Mhz


Valley Benchmark

Core 0=4525Mhz

Core 1=4525Mhz

Core 2=4425Mhz

Core 3=4425Mhz

Core 4=4400Mhz

Core 5=4450Mhz

I guess it is possible, but will I ever see it? I sincerely do not think so. I hope to be proven wrong.

 

[gerardfraser]

I think AMD will fix BIOS but they were getting quite the backlash for having High Idle voltage and they may keep controlling boost to around 4250Mhz -4350Mhz and 1.4v-1.44v Range on most BIOS depending on balance/high power plans.
Maybe it is time for BIOS modding to make a resurgence like in this thread for 2600/2700.

This is not very comforting if this does not happen with my motherboard and CPU. We know it can, there's enough evidence around the internet. Similarly there is a lot of evidence about never reaching states boost spec.

 

[purecain]

I,m noticing a higher boost atm, with 4.6Ghz a regular occurrence in task manager.

 

[gerardfraser]

Do not know how to edit my post.

EDIT Aug 12 2019:Let me start by saying I was wrong and I apologize for any misinformation I supplied due to my ignorance.
I was aware of Third-Party Monitoring Tools not being as accurate as Ryzen Master and I just ignored that fact all together.

I have started testing with Ryzen Master only now to see what the actual clocks on my Ryzen 3600X really is.
Although I still get over Max Boost as what is written on the box so I have no recourse to complain to AMD or refund my CPU'S.
Also they are still fast little CPU's Still happy.

I have only witness Cinebench20 hitting Max Boost on 2 cores as of testing today.I will test some more with different BIOS and if any change is observed I will post back.
